Trust me, it wasn't ment to. However, I read your comment to imply disbelief that ontop of all the $ we gave him we removed all demands for performance. He can keep everything just by being in uniform. You know, GB, Minn, and Tampa didn't think he was worth it. Brandon:

Did you just misuse the phrase? ok – so you think we should have gotten some guarantees from favre. fine.

you still haven’t begin to explain what you meant by saying:

“Brandon:

I,ve not seen anywhere that we have placed damands for reparation for any reason. In other words I havent seen where we place any demands on him. All on us. Frankly, I don't think he was worth it.

So if he retires at the end of the season, he will not have to give back $2m, which he would have had to if he the contract was unchanged, but since the Packers have already suffered the cap hit in respect of that and the Jets would not incur a cap hit when he leaves, that seems more than reasonable. The Jets did not give Favre any guaranteed money at all. Brandon – it refers to the original signing bonus, which was “only” $10m anyway.
